Question 1110880: A homeowner wants to buy a hose for his rectangular shaped yard. He needs the hose to reach all areas of the yard. The yard measures 45 feet by 32 feet and the tap is in the far left comer of the yard. Will a 50 foot hose be long enough? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In order to reach the whole yard, the hose would have to go diagonally from the far left corner to the near right one. So:
45²+32²=3049
√3049=55.22
No, the hose would not be long enough
